The accident occurred about 12:30 a.m. as Packard, northbound, lost control between exits 26 and 27. Packard's vehicle hit a protective barrier filled with sand, bounced into the median and struck the back of a paver machine, Eugin said.

Damage to both Packard's vehicle and the paver were over $1,000 apiece, said Eugin, who is attached to the Shelburne Falls barracks.
